A murmur of Spring. 

Of waters flowing ; 
Blossoming trees ; 

Soft t)reezes iDlowing. 

Odor of violets 

Faint and rare ; 
_'liirp and twitter 

Astir tlie air ; 

And Spring glides on. 



A song of Slimmer ; 

A breatli of clOYer ; 
Carol of joy 

From, blithesome rover. 



^ Warm hearts meeting 

In sweet June weather ; 
Roses and love 

Abloom together. 

And Summer is 'by. 



A soft refrain 

In tlie Antnmn sky ; 
G-old and crimson 

Aglow on liigli. 

Flutter of leaves 

And lYliirring i^rings. 
Bearing sout hi/Yard, 

Love tliat clings, 

As Antn'inn goes. 



An eclio of song 

On tlie Yihitev Mast ; 
Snq^-flakes falling 

Thick and fast. 

Glad bells ringing 

For Christmas time : 

LoYe, remembrance 

And cheer, be thine,— 
My song is snng ' 

An-nik C. McQuiiEX.
